Hellobee Boards

@earthling: yay! Welcome! We are due date twins!

Location: Great Lakes
EDD: May 19
How far along: 4 weeks 3 days
First child? Nope, DD is almost 5 and lost a pregnancy in May
First doctor appointment: Oct. 23
Any symptoms so far? Not really.
Who have you told? Only DH.

@maybebaby: Congrats! Happy to see you here.

@maybebaby: MS is starting to set in. Which, honestly is great...last pregnancy that was a loss never had any symptoms. The worst part is the sinus symptoms that flair up during pregnancy for me. I've got the double whammy of fall allergies and the sinus weirdness from pregnancy.

How are you doing?

@earthling: How are you feeling?

@maybebaby: yay for first appointment! I'm jealous, my doc doesn't see people until 10 weeks. She did tell me I can come in for an unofficial check earlier if miscarriage anxiety was ruling my life.

This is weird but I think I need to acknowledge my tiredness more often. I'm glad yoir symptoms aren't crazy!!

@earthling: @maybebaby: How are you guys doing?

I had my first appointment, moved it up due to our loss. We saw a heartbeat...I just laid there and cried. It was so beautiful.

I don't have an appetite but I'm also not super nauseous so that's good.

@SweetCaroline: Ah congrats on a great appointment, so happy to hear this!

@earthling: Glad apt went well but sorry it was uncomfortable!

We had first apt Friday and baby measuring right on track! We got the see the happily beating heartbeat which made all this feel more real. We have not told our kids or families yet and I am eager to do so, but our schedules are so packed and don't know when we'll find the time! And we def don't want to tell kids until we know when we will see families because I am sure they cannot keep a secret LOL.

My EDD is May 31 so I’ll probably pop into both the May and June boards! I’ve been holding off on joining any because I still don’t feel that pregnant (and I definitely did by now with dd1) which makes me nervous about the viability of the pregnancy. Years of infertility and fertility interventions before my first makes me skeptical about everything! This was my first FET for baby #2.

Location: metro Boston
EDD: 5/31/19
How far along: 6w 2d
First child? Nope! Dd1 will be 20 months tomorrow.
First doctor appointment: I’ve had 3 beta but the viability ultrasound is scheduled 10/18.
Any symptoms so far? Tiredness, maybe a hint of nausea or breast pains but honestly nothing making me “feel” pregnant.
Who have you told? DH - I’ll tell a few close friends and family after the US next week if it’s favorable.

@maybebaby: Hey! Happy to hear from you! That's so awesome you've told your kids! We won't tell DD until our 14 week appointment, due to our loss history. She is dying for a baby and has asking a minimum of weekly for a year.

Are you still fitting into your pants? I can, but I don't want to. I busted out a pair of dress pants and a pair of pricey StitchFix jeans I bought just before our loss (gotta get my moneys worth!). Of course they don't fit great because I have nothing to hold them up, but its better than packing my upset belly into regular pants. I'm a little nervous about concealing it until 14 weeks at work, but I also don't really care that much. I'll tell my boss next week.

How is everyone doing? I got to hear a heartbeat for the first time today, and passed an early gestational diabetes glucola challenge with flying colors. Still haven't told anyone else - going to strategically reach out to some other recent, older first-time parent friends for child care search advice once I'm officially in the second trimester, and then hope I'm not obvious before January.

@earthling: @skiierchck99: Glad to hear from you guys! Awesome news on the heartbeats! We heard a HB several weeks ago at 7 weeks and ai am super nervous for our appt next week at 13 weeks. I've been om Zofran for almost 3 weeks, most of the time I still have a stomachache.

Hitting a hard milestone though, the due date of the baby we lost this spring. That, combined with waiting to see this baby's heartbeat again has me on edge.

I'm definitely showing, but hiding it. Can't wait until after the next appt to announce and ket it all hang out

Welcome, @Mrs. Marshmallow!

Our NIPT results came in tonight: low risk and a girl. I had no preference, but I've caught myself slipping and saying "she" a few times over the last few months, so I think I'd have been really surprised about a boy. Still awaiting an AFP result, but a weight has been lifted.

I've gone on half a dozen daycare tours and have more lined up this week. Still no guarantees, but I can't really start a backup nanny search until the spring. I don't want to reactivate my Facebook account, but according to one center director that's about the only way to find a nanny share.

I still haven't told hardly anyone. You'd have to not have seen me for a while and catch me at the end of the day to suspect anything by looking at me. I was scheduled to do a body composition (more muscle building than weight loss) challenge this fall, and my first weigh-in was the day I was supposed to start my period. I was told I'd lost 2" everywhere but my bust, which had gone up 2", and went home to POAS. I went to the follow-up weigh-in at 14 weeks, and other than an extra half an inch around the hips, nothing had changed. I have a 1:1 meeting with my new manager this week and the next one is after my anatomy scan so I might be able to make it until then!
